A quote from the Holy Book of Light concerning false religious leaders and why humanity has lost trust in those who claim to teach righteousness.
Pseudo-religious leaders have soiled their hands by touching the dark one; their garments are stained with the blood of the Saints. The earth is filled with the blood of the innocent Saints – the Brethren and Children of Mar Mani. The religious houses are full of lies; they have become a den of vipers and the habitation of every unclean bird. Hypocrisy abounds among those who claim to support the children of earth. They have filled their purses with gold, squandered it on great structures and worldly possessions. For these reasons humankind has lost all hope in such men. The Living Spirit has given them a new name – Swine of Darkness.
